Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Created and updated dates for each chat do not seem be imported during chat imports.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like this information to be kept when importing chats, i.e. not replaced by the very date/time when the old chats were imported.
For sorting chats on the UI, I guess the one that matters most is the updated date, so we could in principle replace the created date with the import date with less impact, though I personally don't see how this could be useful so I'm not recomending anything in particular there.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Considered to mess around with the existing database with imported chats to change the dates based on .json file to import, but thought it'd probably be easier to actually implement the feature if desirable for others too.
